French Doors on front of house opening outwards

HealthyJenny · 2012-07-21 16:55:40

Just wondering if anyone here has double French doors on their porch that open outwards and how they find them?

What is the wind like where the doors are going in the winter ? years ago I had to go to a house and fix a door that was down the end of the garden because of wind I know a lot of doors open out but keep it in the back of your mind .

I just got French doors from Munster Joinery fitted on my new build. Not living there yet so can't comment!

Opening out is great for saving space inside but pure madness from a maintainance point of view. even with ristrictor bars on them (they always break) the doors become strained and twisted.
